Re: Your Top 3 must have apps
Oh, the freebie little Applescript Mov2DVparts
When I find myself with a big DV file, this puppy will break it into iMovie manageable chunks. My Formac DV input creates single huge files. This thing has saved me alot of manual cut time.

iTerm, because Terminal.app does not have tabs.
VLC, because QuickTime sucks at playing XviD/DivX stuff.
Microsoft Office 2004, particularly Word. I despise Win32 office, but it works great for me on my Mac.
Toast is handy, because cdrecord-ProDVD doesn't work quite right. |

said by File Quit  :and a lil program called Serial Box. AFAIK there are no KNOWN spyware/viruses for OS X right now, but can you really trust the site where that program comes from? I've gone to various windows sites offering similar programs and i always manage to download things that could have messed up my system if i was running Windows. |

said by oliphant :Toast, toast and toast. I have Toast, and I totally dig it. It's very good.
But so many people in this forum talk about how great it is, I feel like I'm missing something. For my own benefit, can you guys give me a quick list of things that it does better than burning through finder? I feel like I'm missing out!
The one thing that I use it for that is a big advantage over finder burning is creating photo CDs. I open up iPhoto, drag and drop pics into toast, hit burn, then head to Target to get them developed.
But I feel like there is more than that.
Sorry for the detour off topic.

TWrecks- Toast allows a person to burn multi-session/enhanced CD/DVDs which Apple's built-in burning software can't do(even WinXP's built-in burner can't do this, people use freeware or commerical apps for this).
Other features of Toast include:
DVD creation- for those which have burners non-supported by iDVD(ex: external burners)
CD/DVD copying
CD/DVD Imaging- some applications/games won't work with Disk Util's image so Toast is the only solution which works like the OS 7.x-9 Aladdin Systems' ShrinkWrap for an exact imaged copy.
Shared burner- For remote burning on a network, not really useful for many people but I've tested it and works great.
DejaVu Integration- This is a recent feature, it works for both burning and backup copying to another HD.
There are other useful things about Toast that I may have missed but those above are usually the selling points. |

Garden State | That is a pretty impressive list. Also, shared buring is pretty cool, too.
Okay, I feel better now. |
